Robotics SW is coming into the public domain to coincide with the arrival of
little Ronnie Rogun from Korea en route "From Bot Cabin to Whitehouse". See
http://www.geocities.com/Bill_Gates_Challenge_in_Sci_Am . If the Koreans
succeed in their stated objective and millions of Roguns are sold by 2020,
the Personal Robot will replace the Personal Computer. What else will they
replace? Imagine Ronnie Rogun teaching OCW courses at MIT.
